FFR's (not quite) First Literary Contest

[NFD]

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

For the contest, NFD decided to write a third person story narrative about something that happened to him recently. To get into character NFD will be typing in third person also.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Oh, you're writing about an event that happened to you in the third person? Sounds very interesting. Will this be told through the eyes of a friend or family member, or do you wish not to diverge details until the contest begins?

I'll unblock him on the basis he doesn't start any more **** with me. If he does, blocked again.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Well, we had to do basically this a few weeks ago for my Comp class. Basically, we had to take an event from our life, and talk about it in third person. For example:

"Tyler waved at his friends as they got off the bus."

Alright, that would probably be for the best.

Ohh, I see. Well, it sounds very interesting. I look forward to reading what you have to say!

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Just FYI, All_That_Chaz ran a Lit tourney awhile back. I think he gave out subbies for prizes.

Anyways, I'm looking forward to some good entries, and once again, thanks for offering me a judging position, rzr, but I see you have acquired four very capable judges in my stead.

Good luck to all, and try to keep this tourney on its feet, rzr.

Thanks, my friend, will do. Feel free to sign up, or tell your friends, too! I totally wish I could, lol.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Also, sign me up for the one day AND one week divisions. I may only work on one, none, or both, I don't know yet.

We shall see how work goes for me. Also my strengths in my judging will be in plot and structure, I'll weight less on grammar/spelling/etc.

I don't think judges are allowed to enter the contests. I'd ask rzr for clarification, but I'm pretty sure he isn't allowing it.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I'm not in favor of that. Unless you can find a temporary, impartial judge to take your place. Or drop as a judge. Otherwise, it's not fair. Hell, me AND Bynary would sign up if we could.

Someone write a story in 2nd Person

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I'm not digging the 1 day and 1 week deadlines. It's too short imo.

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I definitely think judges shouldn't be able to participate - there's way too much bias there... and if Phynx found a temporary judge to take his place then the judging would be inconsistent.

[Bynary Fission]

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

Precisely my point - it would be all too easy to boost your own ratings, or at the very least think your work deserves more than it does. Considering there's bound to be little opposition to the judge's decisions, I would hope they couldn't participate.

But if Phynx chooses to drop his position, who will take his place?

Re: FFR's First Literary Contest

I think if Phynx really wants to participate, he should just forfeit his place as a judge.
